Al Sharpton's money troubles

" A New York Times investigation of Al Sharpton's finances revealed that he owes $4.5 million in back taxes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills.

Sharpton has committed crimes that would see an ordinary American sent to jail. What would happen to you if you skipped out on a hotel without paying? Or used funds from a non-profit group to pay for your daughter's education? The landlord doesn't dare evict him because he doesn't want hundreds of people demonstrating in front of his office.

Sharpton gets away with this because of the real fear he engenders in businesses that pressing their legitimate claims will bring Sharpton's wrath down upon them. No one wants that kind of bad press, so Sharpton will continue to stiff vendors, avoid taxes, and rob his own non-profit for his personal aggrandizement. "
